There are several occasions in which we have talked about how motherhood and fatherhood change lives, even beyond what parents imagined. And it is that there are many things that do not tell you, or that they tell you and you do not think they can be true.
A few days ago, a mother shared an image on her Facebook page, along with a text, that went viral because it reflected a reality that many mothers share: you will never be alone again.
She was a mother a year and a half ago
His name is Gylisa JaneShe is 24 years old and was a mother a year and a half ago from a girl named Lily. At this time, in these months, he has encountered different events that he did not expect because no one had told him they could happen (about breastfeeding, pregnancy sequelae, the relationship with the couple, etc.). These events made him feel bad at many times, because he came to feel that this was only happening to her and that he was not doing anything right as a mother.
But she realized that she was not alone when talking to other mothers, and therefore, in an attempt to find more complicit people and, in a way, to become herself in that person who warns future parents of what is It comes on top of them, he posted on his Facebook a photo and text that is sweeping.
In Babies and more Why no recent mother should spend a lot of time alone (or feel lonely)You'll never be alone again
What no one had told him was that the aftermath of pregnancy could last for years, or that tea and cookies would become indispensable for the day. Nor did anyone tell him that it could be that in the first moments he did not feel love for his baby, nor that everyone would have an opinion about his baby (about how to feed him, dress him, about the name and really about everything). And nobody told him that there would be times when he would argue with his partner, but that when he saw him play with his daughter, he would feel a burst of happiness and tenderness towards him.
But one of the things that surprised him the most, and that's why the photo, was to realize that I would never be alone again, that she would never have a moment for herself in a long time. Therefore, to show it, he published a photo of him trying to shave his legs with his daughter there in the middle.
But that's not all, he added that, so long together, so accustomed to always being with her, he had missed her when he took a nap. And nobody said this either, that he would fall in love with his way of sleeping and breathing and she would spend time watching her sleep: sometimes wishing she woke up to be together, and sometimes wishing she slept a little longer, to recover a few minutes of herself.
